I come here often with my son in nice weather so we can enjoy the outdoor seating - we love it. We often order the skirt steak; it's one of our favorites. During the evening a live jazz band plays adding the great ambience of the place.

I had the thick and tasty minestrone and the chicken (Roman style with artichoke hearts and sliced red peppers ) with broccoli. They were both good. My wife enjoyed her artichoke heart appetiser and the eggplant parmigiana was delicious. My daughter found the pasta with shrimps a bit oily. Overall excellent service.

Excellent fish and Homade pasta that is made in house for all

Pesce Pasta Trattoria is a great "homey" restaurant and I think one of the best Italians on the UWS.
The service is warm and attentive and the menu is great. There is a great antipasti selection, very broad menu selection and a good wine list. I'm not a dessert eater but the tiramisu and cannolis are not to be missed.

But the restaurant seems oddly trapped in a 20th century vibe, without any self-awareness that could improve the place. First, don't...

After roaming Central Park on a beautiful autumn day, we were looking for lunch and trip advisor lead us to this nice Italian spot. We had traditional pasta dishes which were large in portions and freshly cooked. Good wine selections and a good view of sidewalk activity. Nice find.

pesce pasta trattoria feels like a authentic and basic italian oase in the bustle of nyc. don't expect culinary masterpieces. it's just good food made by good people. we've visit it five times during five different visitings of nyc. it was always a pleasure to enjoy this friendly trattoria.

Called for lunch one Sunday. Although it was very quiet there was live music playing which was great. Very relaxed atmosphere. Food was delicious and the wine was good.
Service throughout was great.
Would definitely recommend....

Although this is close to home we had not noticed it until friends told of a good meal there. Some TripAdvisor reviews mention bad service but we decided to try it. The service was fine. A piece of bruschetta brought on arrival was a nice touch. We shared some good fried calamari and a special artichoke ravioli that turned out...
